    Ah that makes sense. Great catch-22.

    I think that the APP is a very good thing but it really isn't designed to get instruction (insurance checkout) on your first few flights. It is also much more complicated than just having a CFI ride along.

    Paul,

    I second Robert's recommendation - Bob Feugate has been working with me to complete a sport ticket in my Carbon Cub (we're both based at Falcon Field). I can't say enough good things about Bob and I'm sure he can get you squared away in your EX in short order.

    Let me know if you'd like Bob's contact information.

    Thanks a lot Robert. I'm based at Falcon and will get in touch with Bob. Appreciate the offer to come up to DVT sometime to fly with you.

    CC-11 is the make is it not? Would the insurance company even know the difference from a sport cub to a carbon cub? I am just thinking out loud based on my old PA28. 150, 160, or 180hp with a fixed pitch prop were considered the same to the insurance company.

    I would think the handling characteristics would be identical in landing with a bit longer takeoff roll in the CC-11-100.

    Not an insurance guy.

    My insurance company defined that make/model stuff as "cub type aircraft". I will admit, I didn't get that in writing. R

    I have always felt the supercub is one thing mankind got right the first time but that there were better materials and methods to build them. CubCrafters products are proof I was right.

    My experience with some of my customers is the same; the Insurance companies want "time in type". The Sport Cub and the Carbon Cub are the same type: CC-11
